Night's Edge

The night is a wonderful place. You can live in it forever (and some of us do...) without being noticed if you don't want to. Those who live in the night better have the Edge, the Night's Edge, for there is a special kind of 'people' who live there.

You might call them leeches, vryolakas, vampires or monsters, but then again, they might call you cattle, meat or lunch and beside, name calling is so... childlike. The bottom line remains that even if you don't like them, you gotta respect them. Law of the jungle you know. And the night is one huge jungle, complete with it predators and preys.

Some may want to reverse the roles, make the hunters hunted, but they are few. Most are just happy not to be fodder, food for them. Live and let live, I suppose...

Night's Edge is an Alternate Reality Sourcebook for Cyberpunk 2020. It is the first in a series of modules and sourcebooks that brings techno-horror to the world of Cyberpunk. It contains rules covering mostly vampires but also their brethren, lycanthropes and were-wolves. Also included are rules for vampire hunters and psychic powers.

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
